To all whom #mag/concern Be it known that ll, FREDERICK SoHLAIs,

a citizen of the United States, residing atl pecially to that class usedvwith porch .win\

dow's; and the'object of the invention is to provide a hinge which willpermit the window to be swung outwardly for thepurpose of ventilation; afurther'object of the invention is to provide a hinge which 'will permitthe swinging of the window, or

- rather, the turning ofthe same for the purfor attachin pose ofcleaning.

The invention is illustratedin the accompanying d rawing, in which- Fig.1, 1s a view of an elevationy of window, partly open, showing, myimproved hinge applied thereto;

Fig. 2, is a sectional elevation of a window swung outwardly at both topand bottom for the purpose of ventilation-my hinge at both the top andbottom being shown 1n full lines;

Fig, 3, is a view of an elevation of a window being turned-showing howmy hinge holds the same;-

Fig. 4, is a sectional view, on an enlarged scale, of a portion of awindow, with one of f' my hinges connected therewith-the dotted linesindicating one of the ioperations possible with the hinge; l

Fig. 5, is a perspective view, showing how the hinge is connected withlthe sa'sh of a window; and

Fig. 6, is a perspective view of the folding part of the hinge.

ln the drawing like numerals of reference refer to the same parts ineach` of the views.

In the practice of my` invention ll provide a hinge proper 7, which isprovided with a leaf '8, which is provided withv screw holes to thewindow frame 9. .To the sash 10, 1s attached a rod 11, preferablytubular in form so it can be'slipped on a stud 12, connected with aplate 13, connected with a shank 14, to an attaching plate'15.

rllhe hinge proper is preferably provided with two leaves 16, and17,-and with a leaf I 18, provided with a housing 19, 'adapted torotate, and slide along the tubular rod 11,

for reatons hereinafter described. ll may also provide a swivel disc 20,having a lng 21, of the same width as the shank 14, so that when thedisc 20 is rotated to bring the said lug coincident with the said shank14,

the slot 22, inthe housing 19, can be slipped over both the shank 14 andthe lug 21, for reasons hereinafter explained.

llnoperationthe tubular rod 11 is mounted on each end of a window sash10. rllhe plate 8, of the hinge proper is attached to tom,correspondingwith the two tubular rods 11 alreadylattached, it being understood thatone of the hinges proper is mountedI at each top .tubular rod, and thetwo, housin of the hinges proper are slipped on the tu ular rod 11 atthe bottom of the window sash. The sash is then closed, as shown inFigure 4, at which time the hinge at each corner will assume theposition shown in full lines in Figure 4. When it is desired to push`the sash outwardly for the purpose of ventilation, the housing. 19 willslide along the tubular rod 11, and the leaves 16 and 17 of the hingewill operate as illustrated in Figure 4. When the sash is fullyextended'outwardly-, as shown in Fig. 2, the leaves 16 and 17 willstand. out, straight, as will be -readily understood-the housing 19permitframe at both the top and bot..

"Whenf the shank 14 and the other hinges at the top vand. bottom `can bereadily slid backward and forth along the rod 11, to permit of theturning of the sash, as shown in Fig. 3.

1t lwill be understood' that when the disc A 20, is'rotated totheposition shown inFig.

housing will not slip on the end of the rod 11 by reason of the factthat the lug 2]. will act as a'stop.

ltwill thus be seen thatll have provided a hinge which will permit ofthe moving of the sash for the purpose of ventilation; and

70 i corner of the window sash. The two hous- ,ings of the hinges properare slipped on the for the turning of the sash for the purpose ofwashing the contained glass on both sides, Without removing the sashentirely from the window frame.

By makin the rod 11, as shown, with the connecting p ates' at each end,an ordinary piece of plpe may be used, which may readily be cut to shapeto t within the plates 13, and will be .securely held in place by thetached to the window sash, and means to at-` tach said folding part andsaid rod, and

I means to detach said folding part and said rod.

3. In a window hinge having' a housing adapted to'rotate 'on a rod andvslide along the same, a rotatable disk adapted to hold said housing androd connected, and means prising a folding to detach-said housing fromsaid rod, for

the purpose set forth.

4. In a window hinge adapted to connect a sash with its frame, a foldingpart provided with a housing, a rod with which said housing isconnected, and adevice adapted to permit the separation of said housingand said rod, for the purpose set forth. A 5. In a window hinge, afolding part provided with a housing, a tubular rod, an attaching plateprovided with a stud adapted to enter one end of said "tubular rod, anda rotatable disc adapted to hold said housing and said tubular rodconnected.
